Abstract

Implementing assessment in learning activities is helpful to give an overall view of how students are learning and serve as a source of information for creating higher-quality learning. Based on how it is used, assessment is divided into two categories: formative and summative. Formative assessment tracks student progress and gives advancing feedback on how well they are learning. If this formative assessment is created properly, it may encourage students to enhance their self-management capacity to handle their performance while studying the courses and help them recognize their strengths and limitations. This conceptual article explores how impactful the formative assessment is in engaging students in learning and boosting their performance during class activities. Twenty research article publications on formative assessment are examined to look more closely at how to apply appropriate formative assessment and how important it is in determining students' learning potential and performance. The discussion asserts that teacher knowledge played a crucial role in developing assessment practices and affected their capacity to adapt assessment theories into classroom practice. Then, across various disciplines and contexts, learning-oriented assessment can efficiently support and advance student learning
